Finding YOUTRAINFITNESS has been the best thing to happen to my health! First of all, Patrick is just an all-around awesome, knowledgeable person and trainer. Secondly, the facility is immaculate! The clean, calming, and private atmosphere is the perfect setting to build my confidence without the insecurity of being in a busy public space. Patrick is a natural teacher and I can tell that he truly cares about helping me meet my goals. He answers all of my questions with kindness and patience. He is very encouraging and knows how to meet me at my level while challenging me appropriately. One of my favorite aspects of working with Patrick has been how much he pays attention to the little details to maximize progress and avoid injury. I’ve had experiences with other trainers that were not nearly as intentional about safety. At the same time, he has empowered me to learn my own limits and listen to my body. I am learning lots of exercises to incorporate into my life outside of our work together, and I’m already seeing improvements in my physical and mental health after just a few weeks. He somehow has found the ideal balance between helping me learn through consistency and keeping each session interesting by mixing it up. This has quickly become one of the most important self-care routines that I do for myself. I highly recommend Patrick’s expertise to anyone looking to improve their fitness and/or health. I’m so glad I came across YOUTRAINFITNESS and I will be back in the future! [Date: 9/22/2025 10:45 PM] – Source

PERSONAL TRAINING FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

If you use a wheelchair and are looking for personal training for wheelchair users in Durham NC or NW Cary, we understand the challenges that may be associated with not being able to access exercise facilities or participating in adaptive fitness.  For example:

Your challenge – Limited gym access | Our solution – We operate a private personal training studio.  This means privacy and 100% 1 on 1 attention to your strength wheelchair exercise needs.  All equipment is accessible for use.

Your challenge – Transportation barriers | Our solution – We have accessible parking with a ramp in front of our facility.  The doorways to our facility and its amenities are accessible.

We offer personal training for wheelchair users so these challenges will not create a barrier for you to access physical exercise.  Total privacy and no distractions!

MORE PERSONAL TRAINING FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS

I also understand the limited exercise options:

Your challenge – Upper Body Strain | Our solution – our strength equipment consists of many options.  Our equipment include a functional trainer (cable machine), medicine balls, dumbbells, kettle bells, resistance tubes, resistance bands and more.  We can accommodate your need for developing strength with our equipment and the knowledge of how to work with people who use a wheelchair.

I also understand the lack of support for exercise training as well. 

Fortunately, if you train with us, we can provide the support you need.  Whether you are participating in wheelchair sports or just want to stay physically fit, we can help.  As mentioned before, our facility is private.  Your exercise lessons/sessions will consist of you and your exercise physiologist | personal trainer.  If we can be of help to you, please let us know by scheduling a free consultation.

PERSONAL TRAINING FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS AND FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

I’ve worked with people who used a wheelchair as a personal trainer for a number of years at a medical fitness facility.  As a medical fitness facility, we were equipped with having the proper exercise equipment to accommodate people who used a wheelchair.  One of the functional training equipment that I used with my clients was a dual cable cross system.  We considered this an adaptive equipment.  This machine had a wide base which made it easy for people to position their wheelchair to exercise.  This cable system also had “arms” that could be positioned in any direction and independently for strengthening various muscle groups.  This machine also supported Range of Motion (ROM) exercises and mobility training.  With this cable system, it was easy and safe to use.  This machine made strength training for wheelchair users feasible.  It was also practical to use for seated workouts.

When the YOUTRAINFITNESS® Personal Training facility opened in 2024, we invested in this equipment so that we could continue to provide access to strength exercise for people who use a wheelchair. 

 

Below are some of the features from the manufacturer's website.

• Designed For Users of All Levels

• Extensive Cable Travel

• Movement Variety

• Enclosed Weight Stacks

• Built to Last

• Wheelchair Accessibility

• Easy to Adjust

I personally train with this machine during every workout and can vouch for the quality and ease of use.

• I also value that this machine takes up minimal space for what it is able to do.
